Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At clown-around.co.uk, we believe that casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. It is important to understand that gambling is not a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Like any form of entertainment, it carries risks and should only be undertaken with money you can afford to lose.

We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and protecting the wellbeing of our players. Please gamble within your means and always play responsibly.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. We take age verification seriously and conduct checks to ensure all players meet the legal age requirement. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use our services.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling. Please seek help:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount you gamble
• Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
• Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop gambling
• Unsuccessful attempts to reduce or control gambling
• Gambling with increasingly larger amounts to achieve the desired excitement

Self-Help Tools

We provide a range of responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control of your gambling:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specific timeframe.
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during your gaming sessions about how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account and all our services.
